Electrocution risk from underground HV cabling, surface switchrooms, and mobile plant electrical systems.
Mobile Plant & Vehicle Interaction
Collision, run-over, and tip-over hazards from haul trucks, excavators, and light vehicles in the same work zone.
Airborne Contaminants
Exposure to coal dust, silica, diesel particulate matter (DPM), and other hazardous substances causing chronic disease.
Tailings Storage Facility Failure
Structural failure of tailings dams causing environmental and safety catastrophe — one of the highest consequence risks in mining.
